I wish people would stop fooling around with this plant and with anticholinergic in general. I have spoken with some very experienced psychonauts who will not even attempt the endevour, yet teenagers all over are tricked into thinking "whats the worst that could happen". Well in Germany an young boy was reported to have chopped of a his penis and a protion of his nose, I can't think of anything worst than that.

depending on the area you live it it a plant containing the same alkaloids my very possibly grow wild or at the local nurseries.

You can buy them at most nurseries, mail order catalogs, yard sales. There are two types of angel trumpets, annuals and perennials. When annuals make flowers they then produce a seed pod which can be saved for planting or ingest to get high.


In each seed and each flower the potency differs, be very careful on the amount you take because there is no way to judge the strength.

From what I hear this shit doesn't even get you high, it just f**ks you upand makes you think everything is real when really its not. Not what I want to be putting in my body...

[Mellow_natts]

Wild? It could be growing just about anywhere. If not look around you local nurseries.

If you can't find any now, wait till spring, I sure you'll find some then.


Like Mellow_natts said they grow everywhere. I've got them growing all over the place here.

Tropane containing plants are very dangerous. They are not psychedellics like LSD or Shrooms. they are dellirients.

Dellirients induce a state of temporary insanity. You are not in control of your actions and your ability to tell the diff between hallucinations and reality is removed. They are also very physically toxic.

You shold not use these plants. But if you do a sober sitter is mandatory. The sitter should be someone who is physically strong enough to control you if need be.
